Abstract
An initial value for each processor of a multiprocessor system is set using a specified calculating expression. The system determines a random number calculating expression using a multiplicative congruence method so that random numbers generated from these initial values may make a sequence of random numbers in series, and generates random numbers using the calculating expression. The system permits the adding of a processor in the middle of generation of random numbers by making equal to one another the number of random numbers generated by the existing processors, setting an initial value in each processor on the basis of the total number of already generated random numbers, and generating random numbers according to a sequence of random numbers prior to adding the processor until reaching a specified total number of random numbers to be generated.
